Eton introduced the Mobius rechargeable battery case with solar panel. Designed for the iPhone 4, the rechargeable battery case features a high-efficiency monocrystal solar panel that needs only one hour in the sun to provide an additional 25 minutes of talk time.

Differentiating itself from solar-charging solutions on the market today, Mobius features a quick charge time and the ability to store charge until you need it. The high-efficiency monocrystal solar panel re-charges the 1800 mAh Rechargeable lithium ion battery pack on the back of the case. Only one hour of solar charging provides an additional 25 minutes of talk time, 20 minutes of internet use, 35 minutes of video playback and more than two hours of audio playback. Mobius can also be charged via the included Micro-USB cable and will sync with iTunes for maximum convenience. Once the battery has been re-charged, the user is in control as to when the extra battery power is used. Mobius features a standby switch to turn off direct power transfer to the iPhone 4, allowing the case to charge and store energy in its own battery — only using the power when you need it.

The durable and ergonomic battery case has both a battery charge and solar charge indicator, so the user always knows the power status of the Mobius. Weighing only 3.4 ounces, Mobius also features a USB connection to charge the battery via computer, as well as the unique and proprietary snap fit design protects the glass on the back of the device.

Most people like the idea of running their own business, but coming up with an original idea is harder than it seems. Some people never quite manage it. If you're lucky, you might be able to think of a brand-new invention that you could market to the masses. The inventors of the products below were able to think of some novel ideas, but they're equal parts crazy and genius.

1.) This mobile fishbowl will help you bring your new pet home (or wherever you want to bring him).

2.) Burnt toast will be a thing of the past with this transparent toaster.

3.) Sick of your pockets NOT being transparent? These jeans will help you look at your phone no matter what you're doing.

Scientists have struggled for a very long time to get a hold of this thing we all go through which is aging. Medicine and hygiene have added about 20-30 years to the average lifespan since a couple hundred years ago, but we want more life it seems. While some scientists focus on the human building blocks (our DNA) others are focusing on healing our body. A German company recently announced a new product called Human Regenerator that can control aging.

The company, System 4 Technologies Gmbh recently showcased their “pod” at the World Luxury Expo held at the Abu Dhabi’s Emirate palace. This Human Generator looks like something out of a science fiction movie, and its purpose is somewhat like it too. By utilizing a unique technology by the name of Quantum Cell Code, humans are apparently able to control aging. However, don’t be fooled, you can’t stop aging altogether, but it is said that the apparatus can rejuvenate the cells in your body and at least slow it down.

So what is this thing and how does it accomplish this almost holy grail-like miracle? Well, I will try to explain it to the extent that I understand it myself. The developers have used silicon and aluminum deposits which supposedly help create the anti-aging effect. The Human Regenerator imitates the body’s natural frequencies through quantum cell technology and longitudinal waves. Don’t ask me how but that’s as much as I understand.

Don’t expect this gadget to be cheap either. Unfortunately, it’s not for everyone. The basic model will have a price tag of $557,000 and only 50 units will be created. The one used at the Abu Dhabi expo was a promotional unit that had been pimped out with 6880 carats worth of diamonds, which sets the price tag for this particular unit at around $10 million. I guess if you want everlasting youth you will have to bust out the big wallet. Eternal youth is apparently not for the less fortunate ones, but we already knew this from the silver screen, didn’t we? – More information at Human Regenerator.

This is a truly portable scanner, ideal for use when visiting clients, customers etc when a power supply is unavailable or inconvenient.

The EasyScan TSN410 Handheld Scanner, unlike most other portable scanners, is cordless and captures important documents, letters, photos etc directly to microSD card. Rather than sheet feeding pages, which is fine for unattached sheets, the scanner is moved over the area and its sensitive colour image sensor scans at high (600dpi) or standard (300dpi) resolution, and then saves the captured images as JPEG files on the microSD card.

You can download your images to your computer using the included USB cable. Its built-in display shows the selected resolution, remaining battery life, and memory status. Two included AA batteries provide up to 180 scans. It can support microSD cards as large as 32GB. Works with a Mac or Windows 7, Vista, and XP and weighs only 7.5 oz/250g.

Revolution has began to come in the world of Electronic devices. From Google Glasses to Smart Watches, wearable computing devices are clearly a latest trend and it appears everyone has a wearable concept for the days to come. Smarty Ring is one of the latest wearable device.

Smarty Ring, a wearable ring that allows you to control your digital life right from your finger.

But what exactly is the Smarty Ring and what does it do?

Smarty Ring is a wearable ring, which is the first of its kind, and has been devised to allow its users to check alerts from their smartphone and manage calls right from their finger using Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity; it ensures that you don’t miss any significant text or any Facebook update.

It has some pretty notable features like, users can manage the settings for their Smarty Ring from a mobile app, and can even use the device as a watch, timer or phone finder for instance, if a user walks more than 30 meters from his phone, the ring will beep to warn them.

It is made of stainless steel and its battery life is 24-hours. It also has a wireless charging base which users may use to charge their Smarty Ring. It supports both Android and iOS devices but they should have Bluetooth 4.0 compatibilities.

The hi-tech tattoo that could replace ALL your passwords: Motorola reveals

plans for ink and even pills to identify us

· The Moto X is expected to launch later this year and will be 'more contextually aware than other phones'

· The Biostamp electronic tattoo is made of silicon and contains an electrical circuit, antennae and sensors that bend and move with the wearer's body

· Proteus Digital Health's 'vitamin authentication pill' is powered by acid in the wearer's stomach and creates an 18-bit signal picked up by mobile phone

· Motorola is trialling the technologies as authentication alternatives to non-secure traditional passwords

Motorola has announced it is looking at alternatives to traditional passwords in a bid to make logging into online sites, or accessing mobile phones, more secure.

Among the ideas discussed at the D11 conference in California on Wednesday were electronic tattoos and authentication pills that people swallow.

The tattoos, developed by Massachusetts-based engineering firm MC10, contain flexible electronic circuits that are attached to the wearer's skin using a rubber stamp.

Motorola's senior vice president of advance research, Regina Dugan, shows off an electronic tattoo at the D11 conference in California. The tattoos, designed by Massachusetts-based firm MC10, are made from silicon and contain electronic circuits that bend and move with the wearer's body. The tattoos, called Biostamps, were designed for medical purposes to track a patient's health, but Motorola thinks the technology can be used for authentication purposes, as an alternative to traditional passwords

This image shows the various parts that make up the MC10 electronic tattoo called the Biostamp. It can be stuck to the body using a rubber stamp, and protected using spray-on bandages. The circuit can be worn for two weeks and Motorola believes this makes it perfect for authentication purposes

MC10 originally designed the tattoos, called Biostamps, to help medical teams measure the health of their patients either remotely, or without the need for large expensive machinery.

Motorola claims that the circuits, which also contain antennae and built-in sensors, could be adapted to work with mobile phones and tablets.

The mobile devices could then be used to confirm the owner's identity and log them in to accounts automatically.

This would prevent thieves and other people from being able to access a phone, or individual apps on the device, if it is stolen or lost.

Another idea presented during the keynote talk at the Wall Street Journal conference with head of Motorola Dennis Woodside and senior vice president for advanced technology and products, Regina Dugan, was a swallowable pill.

Neurowear, a gadget project organization in Japan focused on Creating "Communication for the near Future" which basically uses brain waves, heartbeats and other biological signals to understand Human thoughts and emotions.

Neurocam, the Brain Child of Neurocam is a wearable camera system, that detects users' emotions. It Automatically Records Moments of interest based on an Analysis of the users Brainwaves. The prototype of Neurocam was demoed at Human Sensing 2013 conference in Yokohama, Japan.

Neurocam is a headband equipped to hold an iPhone next to the side of the head behind the eyes of a wearer. The phone is fitted with a special prism so the camera can record footage from the wearer’s point of view. Neurocam uses EEG sensors. Electroencephalography (EEG) sensors record brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a short period of about 20–40 minutes using multiple electrodes placed on the scalp.

Neurocam gauges wearers interest on a scale of zero to 100, and interest is detected if brainwave readout tops 60 and then it'll start recording a video and transforms the footage into five-second GIFs.

Interest-based advertising enables advertisers to reach users based on their inferred interests and demographics (e.g. 'sports enthusiasts'). Neurocam can determine what goods in stores interest people and can also show what places people are interested. Thus Neurocam is a viable tool to improve Interest based Advertising, so the advertising titan Dentsu is now backing the Neurocam via a joint venture called Dentsu ScienceJam.

Disruptive technologies have a way to get through from SciFi to market success in a few years, witness mirrorless cameras.

A few observers forsee the same for Google Glass, the wearable device getting mainstream this year : shall we kiss goodbye our smartphones? I would shed no tears. This is an preliminary article anyway: we'll see how things pan out. For the moment this is more an inventory of links, than an assessment, but I have no doubts that wearable technology is already taking long strides.

For the moment universal use seems hardly likely, except for the affluent, with Google Glass selling to a selected few at $ 1500 as part of the Google Explorer program. Google has just expanded to Britain the Explorer Program,selling the Glass for UKP 1000, offering in the meanwhile new glass frames that could be compatible with prescription lenses in the UK.

What drew my attention however is the appearance of a Chinese clone , the SimEye.

At $500 it seems far more reasonable. The difference is in the number of app offered, and the fact that it doesn't respond to voice controls like the original, and has no sound transmission through the skull bones like Google. But it can still take photographs and record movies with 4 times the definition of Google. And it can still download apps directly from Google Android Libraries.

This awesome VR project combines the forces of three sophisticated gadgets to take mind-controlled virtual reality to the next level. Use your mind to move around with the Emotiv EPOC brain-interface, look around with the Oculus Rift 3D headset, and move your hands to interact with virtual objects holding the Razer Hydra gaming controller.

According to project creator Chris Zaharia, this kind of complex simulation could become equally useful in education, medicine, tourism or in the gaming industry. Zaharia has been following the virtual reality space as a hobby, he has built a virtual reality simulation in Skyrim, and he is also the founder of a startup called Zookal.

Zaharia says that the VR space is starting to show a lot of potential, and various technologies could be used together to enhance education and to demonstrate what cognitive control is able to achieve in a virtual environment.

Zaharia has created a few simulations to try out the integration, including some basic educational demos like city building, surgery, chemistry and also a first person shooter where the hand tracking feature operates a pistol, whilst the player can move around either with the brain-controlled EPOC or using the Hydra’s joystick.

The chemistry demo shows what reactions occurs when you mix different chemicals together, but probably the most impressive demo is the architecture one where you can grab and move buildings in a miniature city, then shrink yourself and experience the city as if you were actually there.

LBO introduced a new kind of keyboard on this CES for the technology
fans to experience innovative technology features with a versatile
device. Their new technology is called Light Blue Optics, Light Touch
Projector.

This is an amazing and unbelievable projector that converts a flat
surface into a 10 inches touch screen. This small projector device
reflects the multimedia contents in a small screen view where users can
input commands like they do in their handheld device.

Internet and high-tech gadgets have already penetrated in our life to an unbelievable level: cameras in belts, Bluetooth watches, electronic car keys finders and high technology is coming to our kitchens and bathrooms. iHouse presents a new gadget along its cell phone
controlled bathtub that prepares an excellent bath with an only one
phone call – SmartFaucet - which is one of those devices that are
necessary, but the word “smart” makes it different from the ordinary
faucets.

The SmartFaucet by iHouse is highly convenient due to its
characteristics: it has a face recognition technology. The essence of
this technology is the following: the camera recognizes you and the
faucet remembers different temperature settings for each member of your
family and automatically adjusts the temperature of the water to the
preferred level. The water is heated with a built-in internal heating
coil, and, moreover, there are LEDs which change the color of the water from blue to red to show its temperature.

Skin cell gun – Major burn victims often die
because of infections. Germs and viruses that normally wouldn’t enter
the body, get into the body and cause infections. Burnt skin doesn’t
offer the usual protection to germs and viruses that unburnt skin
offers.

It normally takes weeks or even months before the skin can fully
recover from severe burns. During the recovery time, the body has a
much greater chance of being infected, since the skin isn’t fully
functioning as a protective layer. By minimising healing time, the
chance of infection can be greatly reduced. This is where this new
unbelievable technology called the skin cell gun comes into play.

This new unbelievable technology is very futuristic and has the potential to help millions of people around the world. The skin cell gun
can heal a burn wound in a matter of days. Videos of this skin cell
gun in action can be seen over the Internet. This is a tremendous piece
of technology and should be made available to burn sufferers around
the world.

Last week German automaker Audi made its
first big splash into the E-bike world, releasing photos and videos of
an exciting lightweight prototype electric stunt bike that may be among
the most ambitious projects introduced in this space to date. No
specific names or dates have been announced yet by the Germans, so for
now it is still technically a concept bike–but from the looks of it a
radically groundbreaking one.

Audi is making some other fast moves in the 2-wheel motor sport
category with the announcement last month of their purchase of Italian
motorcycle-maker Ducati for $1.2 billion in a rare move for an auto
manufacturer. Ducati’s dealership network may well provide Audi with an
instant world-wide distribution channel for upscale high-performance
E-bikes.

And separately, VW, also owned by Audi, has been working on something
they call “last mile transportation,” which focuses on the use of
short-distance urban transportation.

Audi’s concept E-bike is what you would expect when some of Europe’s
most skilled auto engineers and modernist designers get together and
decide they are going to create a flagship E-bike with no expenses
spared.

Sudhanwa Chavan has created a pen-size concept cell phone named as i-Roll. This cell phone uses can be rolled up to save the space because of its scroll-like design. i-Roll features an OLED touchscreen that provide all necessary functionalities, and when this retracted touchscreen is idle, it will fold back inside a central column.

The outer casing of i-Roll is also made up of an OLED surface that will display important notifications like incoming calls, emails, or messages. The battery status will be indicated by different colors of the battery’s column.

Damage of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant because of earthquake forces Japanese to reduce their power usage to 15 percent, therefore to overcome this power shortage a Japanese company Kuchofuku Co. Ltd is aiming to create air-conditioned clothes that help the wearer to remain cool in summer without any external source.

Air-conditioned clothes will consist of two electric fans that can be controlled by the wearer to change the speed of the fans. These high-tech clothes will be a great relief for the employees working at the hot construction sites like automobile giants, steelmakers, food companies and construction firms.

On 8th of July NASA space shuttle reached his 30th anniversary by blasting off for his 135th and last mission "STS-135 launch of Atlantis”. Four astronauts - Chris Ferguson, Doug Hurley, Rex Walheim and Sandy Magnus are taking the part in this 12-day mission. After his last flight, space shuttle will become a part of the museum and serve their rest of life as a showpiece on public display.

Check out the top 10 facts of NASA space shuttle to relive its history:

1) Too Fast

Space shuttle has a speed of about 17,500 miles (28,000 kilometers) per hour while traveling in the orbit. This speed enables the crew to see a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes.

2) Height and Weight

The Statue of Liberty and the space shuttle share the same height, but space shuttle weight is approximately three times more than the Statue of Liberty.

3) Traveled Distance

The space shuttle almost travels 1.3 times the distance between Earth and Jupiter that is 513.7 million miles (826.7 million km).
